Postgame press conference
Hurley (with trademarked furrowed brow like he’s straining at the limits of his mental capacity): “Obviously no way to anticipate they’d be pounding it down low like that. Poor job of preparing the team by me…again.”

That’s funny

This is a horribly coached and played game by uconn

But Hurley's not the one missing shots, throwing the ball away, standing around and getting out rebounded

You could say that about any coach who's team is doing a poor job executing.....by this logic no coach should ever be judged poorly...since they aren't playing....hell, but this logic Kotite should still be coaching the Jets
 
We cut it to 7 when we came out in the 2/3 zone to start the half. Then went to man and are just getting picked apart over and over. Yet, we are still in man.

UConn is a flawed team. There is one player, Cole, that can create his owns shot. Guard play is not elite. Heck, 3 of the starters are not top 100 recruits.
 
Not a hoops guy but have watched almost every men's and women's game for 30 years. Heard the announcers say UConn is the most talented team is the BE. Really? Look like a mediocre mid-major to me. Don't hold a candle to an average Calhoun team. Gotta confess I don't how this team is ranked at all. No flow. Passive play. Most players look lost and timid. No swagger. Is it the players? Coaching? I don't know, but most answers are usually more complex than they appear on the surface, so probably a combination of the above. Will be a miracle if they get past the second round (assuming they get in). Another dismal display. 10 minutes left going shopping.

The Hurley brigade reduced to “he’s not the one missing the shots”.

No. He’s just the one who assembled this severely flawed team in year #4. He’s been talking about Year 4 since Year 1. Well. Here it is.

Bingo. This is on the coach now. He’s shown the ability to assemble a fringe- top 25 team, but nothing more. Same at URI.
 
But this was another loss where we were without another key player, so it shouldn’t count.
 
Ok I'm done with this game. Our defense got carved up by Villanova as we pressed too much and our offense is putrid. Hurley did nothing to prepare for this game. That was embarrassing display of basketball. Who besides Depaul and Georgetown on our schedule can we beat now?
 
They say defense travels but , sanogo let Dixon get his career high in points , our defense non existent, they don’t communicate , Hurley overly emotional gets a tech , coach better but he won’t … tough watch , only player I have faith in is Cole

The two best coaches in this league Wirght and McDermott absolutely own Hurley. Things are not good.

It's both personnel and coaches. It seems like we have started recruiting the types of guys to beat these guys (Diggins, Karaban, hopefully griffiths... even Floyd to an extent). We also can't change who our current players are, and they are working their tails off to get better for this program.

The reality is with Hurley's current skillset, beating these HOF coaches or winning close games is going to be more challenging than it should be.

I'm ready for the over-the-top responses on this board from the Hurley haters and his stans. The reality is somewhere in the middle. Hurley has 90% of what it takes to be an elite coach. He has a couple hiccups like inflexibility on offense and refusal to play much of any zone that are holding him back.

I still have faith we can take steps to get to elite status if our coach keeps working hard to improve and leaves his ego behind, but it won't happen mid-season.
 
What a good time to put the young pups in. Throw the young guys into the fire. Send a message to the old guys.
 
I do not understand what y’all see in Hurley ….. he’s awful!!!! Recruiting won’t matter til the coaching changes …

You think KO was better? LOL! At least our recruiting has improved. Remember we are competing in the Big East and not the crappy AAC now. I bet this team would be second in the AAC with maybe one loss to Houston.

The team isnt as good as the hype. Players aren't producing. What would you suggest? It's still early, probably take 2 more years to get good enough players to challenge the good teams.

Naturally Villanova was the team we chose to finally (briefly) break the zone out against. Not exactly setting it up for success
